Thanks for all the positive comments. It's been one heck of a ride and it's not over yet.

I woujd think that’s pretty rare.

I think it’s only around 285. At one time we were close to 2000

I like to shoot but have no Walthers. I have a GP100 Ruget 357 revolver, a .45 Kimber, and my latest that I haven’t even shot yet is a Kimber CDS 9. I have some others too but these are my favorites. Oh, Sig 365 is my regular carry when I do carry.

Yes. But you don’t have to.

Our site has really declined over the past few years. I think it's a combination of some of our ,members simply aging out and the fact that Facebook has taken over a lot of this type site. After much consideration, I have made a big decision in an effort to keep this place going. I have promoted all current subscribing members to Lifetime Members. That means that you will no longer have to pay. My way of thanking you all for the years of support. NOTE: I THINK you all need to go to you PayPal account and cancel your membership there if you have it set to auto renew. I can't do that from buy end. There will still her a one time membership of 12.00 for any new ,members. This ix just an attempt to dissuade spammers from joining. I also extend this offer to any of our old members who have let their memberships expire. If you are one of those,,. Just send ,e a message and I will reinstate you.

Just making sure it’s working

I wish. It’s 14 degrees and about 10” of snow here.

Merry Christmas to you and all our members.

Wow. They have been around for a long time. Great company.

I used to be an avid hunter. Always took vacation opening week. Haven’t hunted in 30 years. I miss the social aspect of being at the deer camp more than the actual hunting but do miss the venison too.

Those Boston Whalers are nice boats. I’m sure you will miss it. I understand though. I sold my last boat a couple of years ago. Same reason you did. I still have two Yamaha Waverunners and never took them out this year and only once last year. I really should sell them too.

Very nice Yamaha Star woman’s motorcycle coat. No rips or stains. Very lightly used. Size medium. Says woman’s size 10-12. These are very hard to come by. Local pickup in Pittsfield Township. 75.00. 12.00 shipping.

Beautiful day here. Unfortunately I worked most of the day. Got home in time to do about a 50 mile ride and then came home and changed the oil in the bike while it was warmed up.

I agree with you for the most part. I used to ride in the winter a lot. Have ridden in snow and single digit temps. I guess I’ve gotten old. That is part of it. The other part though is that often the roads around here get heavilly salted once the weather starts turning bad. I just hate seeing my bike covered in salt.

Just read that Polaris had sold Indian. It will now be a stand-alone company. That tells me that it wasn’t profitable enough or was losing money. Have to wonder how long they will make it. https://www.cyclenews.com/2025/10/article/polaris-sells-indian-motorcycle-to-carolwood-lp/

Believe me. I get it.

Hate to say. it but winter is quickly arriving here in NE Ohio. It was 35 this morning. Still supposed to get to 70 later today so riding is not over but I can feel it coming.

Haven’t tried any of them but here’s some good info. https://www.vikingbags.com/blogs/news/the-10-best-motorcycle-weather-apps-of-2022-for-conventional-riders

Don’t know a lot about the Challenger but it looks great. I’m sure it’s expensive.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. I don’t know. I didn’t know that Hanniganv had sold.

Sounds like a great ride. Wish I could have been there.

I certainly couldn’t do it. Especially now but probably never could have.

Sad news. I don’t know what to say. I’m sad, I’m angry, I pray for his family.

It is more or less ok to ride but you’ll get a pogo effect. If it’s just leaking oil, you can repair it.
